APC again, plans to cause trouble through falsehood, propaganda ----Rivers PDP

By -
(Nigeria) The Rivers State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr  Felix Obuah has the raised alarm over plans by the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state to instigate crisis in the state through deliberate publication and peddling of false information to the unsuspecting public.
Obuah in a statement on Thursday in Port Harcourt, by his media aide,  pointed to the recent outbursts and inciting comments against the PDP and some eminent members, and described the action as another plot to foment trouble in the state.
He noted that these publications which usually come by way of statements, express a deliberate show of malice and disaffection against the PDP.
Obuah said this latest action by the APC was because the party hadd been rejected by Rivers people, describing the overwhelming victory of the PDP in the just concluded local government elections, as a pointer to the assertion.
“As far as we are concerned, these falsehood and propaganda are  the product of deep seated frustration after being rejected by the mass of Rivers people.
“The huge blow suffered for losing the 2015 general election has foisted a skewed mindset on the psyche of the APC towards all issues in the state and because of that, they are doing everything to run down the PDP, including fabrication of falsehood and making futile attempt to promote disaffection against the PDP.”
Obuah said  that no amount of falsehood, malicious propaganda and ill-motivated attacks would sway the good people of the state from the PDP having experienced the deceit that characterized the eight year misrule by former the former government and its cronies.
He enjoined the teeming members of the PDP as well as the good people of the state to disregard all vexatious publications and remarks emanating from the APC, assuring that the Governor Nyesom Wike administration remains focused and committed to delivering the dividends of democracy to the people.

(Nigeria) The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has been restrained by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, from imposing fines on broadcast stations in the country. Trial judge in the matter, Justice James Omotosho also set aside the N500,000 fines imposed on March 1, 2019, on each of 45 broadcast stations. The court made the orders in its judgment a suit by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda, MRA, which had sued the NBC. Justice Omotosho held that the NBC, not being a court of law, had no power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations. The court further held that the Nigeria Broadcasting Code, which gives the commission the power to impose sanction, is in conflict with Section 6 of the Constitution that vested judicial power in the court of law.

He said that the commission did not comply with the law when it sat as a complainant and at...
